We occasionally have the issue of some users uploading photos which are already on the PBB Wikia -- most notably Pokemon front sprite files. Please search for the files to see if there are already any of them, and only upload when you are sure that the file you want to post is not present. Please also use a file name that matches the image guidelines when uploading.

To clear things up: '''All Pokemon before those from Alola have their normal front sprites uploaded, gender differences are covered. All Pokemon with Regional Variants also have their sprites in Kanto and Alola Forms uploaded.''' Some of the Shiny Pokemon sprites are also here, while we are missing the sprites of Pokemon with extremely diverse forms, and we will work on those, as well as Alola Pokemon soon.

On the other hand, some users have uploaded photos not related to Pokemon here. If it is for your user page, we will let those slide, otherwise we may take action especially if they are used for spamming in the page comments. Some of the photos, though, contain inappropriate contents inside -- foul language, adult content, you name it. Even if they are Pokemon-related, they are still forbidden, because these kind of photos are much more serious violations of the guidelines and you may get warned or even banned if you are spotted uploading any of those!

To sum up: You are not going to be punished for uploading repeated images, it is just that it was very tedious to take down all duplicated photos. Trust me, I have experience of that when I was standardizing the file names of Pokemon sprites earlier. However, inappropriate content is an extreme escalation from that and will definitely get you into huge trouble.
